I have filled two 55-gallon drums, one with trail mix and one with pastries and gummies, and have had it run out in five days. And that's with a 2-inch hole in the barrel of trail mix so they have to work at getting it out. On public land in Minnesota you can't use a barrel so I use a crib in areas where I plan to just bait once a week and it looks like this.
4-5 bears can clean this up in a week easy. And three of them might be a sow with two cubs.
That makes sense. It seems like the second year of a bait it’s alot more active here.

Absolutely no doubt they get better every year. One question I get from people all the time in seminars is when should they start baiting. I say if you are going to draw a tag next year, start baiting this year.
